What is REDCap?

REDCap is a free, easy-to-use, web platform developed at Vanderbilt University for the following research purposes:

Survey Development
Data Capture
Data Management

To learn more about Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) at NYU, review this Introduction to REDCap video.

REDCap Software Access

To request a REDCap account, users must have an NYU NetID and password, and be current members of the NYU Community (Faculty, Administration/Staff, Student).

Users interested in accessing a one-week demo version of REDCap can do so through Vanderbilt's REDCap website.
Users collecting data for non-research purposes, such as for course evaluations, or administrative surveys, should consider using Qualtrics instead of REDCap.

For additional technical support, including account creation and access issues, see the NYU High Performance Computing support site (NYU NetID and password may be required).
